Doctor Voynich and Her Children
Written by Leanna Keyes
Directed by Olive Colangelo
Set in a speculative near-future in which Roe v. Wade has been repealed, Doctor Rue Voynich and her apprentice Fade travel the American Heartland dispensing herbal medications. Covertly, they perform abortions, which have been illegal since the days of the first woman president, Ivanka Trump. Fade tries to help local youth Hannah complete her abortion, using knowledge from an ancient manuscript, before her mother and the sheriff can nail them for the “attempted murder of an unborn person.”
